Beige G3 SWIM 3 Floppy Driver OS X

Posted by: History_SE30_Dude on 2020-11-26 13:54:36 There was a Darwin project that brought support to the internal floppy drive of the Beige G3 in OS X. I could find the original page but the links are broken and couldn't retrieve them from the wayback machine. Does anybody happen to have this software or know where it can be found? http://www.darwin-development.org/floppy/

Posted by: History_SE30_Dude on 2020-12-08 19:16:26 Can you upload it somewhere?

Posted by: 604ev on 2020-12-08 23:50:44 Well… I looked at the url for "FTP (sources and binaries)" on the page you mentioned and the ftp link is indeed broken ; I tried the same url in http, and luckily it works : v 0.96 kext is built and available http://ftp.mklinux.org/pub/darwin/floppy/
